what's in a name?

Who knew how hard it would be just to pick a name for this blog? I may be the only one who ever reads it, and still I am afflicted with perpetual indecision.

Initially I thought of a great quote that I love but decided quickly that it was far too pretentious and brushed it aside. Thinking I'd be all fancy I tried using foreign translations of insightful words like "afterthought", "delve", and "search". When I started debating using video vidi visum (the latin for observe) I realized my real problem: I am way too self-conscious. Why on earth would I spend so much time and energy trying to find an impressive name for my diary when I had something that inspired me right from the beginning?

As simplistic as it is, this experience has shown me I need to just go with my instincts. Only I know what I really think and feel, and if I keep ignoring myself I'll never figure this life out. In the end the words of Voltaire win out: "The great consolation in life is to say what one thinks". A little too ironic.
